Fast Track: Read The Bible in One Month (Part 2 of 24)
By

The following generations decided to build a tower to heaven instead of trusting God. This monument to themselves was a tangible example of their continued rebelliousness. (Archaeologists have found evidence of this kind of tower, which they call a ziggurat.) The people refused to spread out and enjoy the new world God had provided for them. In defiance…
Fast Track: Read the Bible in One Month (Part 1 of 24)
By

The first book of the Bible is called Genesis, and it’s about beginnings. Genesis describes how God created the Heavens, the universe, and the Earth in seven days. He created the animals and mankind. The Bible says Heavens because it includes the atmosphere of Earth, outer space, and God’s dwelling place. The world He…

Weakness Strengthens Influence
By

There are certain words that seem weak. Words like Compassion, Authenticity, or Gentleness. These do not seem like “Leadership words!” They invoke painful stereotypes of being forced to “talk about our feelings” in a counseling office, or be treated like a door mat in the competitive business world. I’d like to suggest that “WEAKNESS CAN…

George Soros couldn’t be more wrong. His “wisdom” is out of alignment with history, common sense, and Biblical wisdom. He recently said in an article “Otherwise we will repeat the mistakes that plunged America into the Great Depression in 1929. That’s what Angela Merkel doesn’t understand,” he said. US President Franklin Roosevelt addressed the crisis in 1933 with…

As we look at the business environment…as we look at parenting our kids…as we look at the daily barrage of possible choices we could make, we realize that we are constantly faced with temptation.

Combat Gossip Quickly
By
chadhovind
At one point or another, we’ll all face the sting of gossip. Someone takes a half truth about us, our family, our career, and twists it and spreads it. Sometimes the truth is twisted and that ends up being destructive rather than in a private environment of grace. Other times, gossip is an out-and-out lie,…

During World War II, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower commanded history’s most powerful military force. Under his leadership, the Allied Forces liberated Europe. But even as supreme commander, Eisenhower couldn’t simply issue dictums from on high.
